Hailing from New Orleans, Benjamin Booker is too punk to be soul, to soulful to be a punk.
Guess he's just Benjamin Booker. The American artist's debut album arrives on August 18th, via the always inspiring folk at Rough Trade.
Produced by Andrija Tokic, the album will be preceded by new single 'Have You Seen My Son?' Stripped down to the bare bones, Benjamin Booker's songwriting has a rawness, a desperate emotion which seems to seep out of each and every note.
Check it out now.
Benjamin Booker is set to support Jack White on his North American tour. Catch the New Orleans artist at End Of The Road festival later this year.
